I'm a big fan of the User Friendly comic strip.  While it's a bit geeky for most folks, it usually manages to give me a good chuckle several times a week.  This Sunday's strip is no different:

I've been saying for YEARS to anyone who would listen that Rick Berman is the whole problem with Star Trek since Gene Roddenberry died.  I've heard him interviewed, publicly saying that Gene's vision of a future when mankind would evolve past greed, racism, and the like is a lame idea.  He may be right. We may not evolve beyond those things.  But we'd like to THINK that we will.  We'd like to see how better life could be if we weren't petty, back-stabbig, scheming little monsters.  That's what Star Trek showed us... a future where the human race has gotten its collective act together and is helping others do the same.  It's what Star Trek hasn't been since Gene passed on.
